Every afternoon on NPR's Consider This, we go deep on one big story.

This week, a college professor fed up with students using AI, set a trap to prove if they were.

So I end up with 39% AI submissions.

How it worked and what it reveals about higher education in an era of AI.

On Consider This, listen on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello there, shortwievers. Emily Kwong here with a quick word before the show.

So this week is Giving Tuesday. That is the global day of generosity that NPR celebrates every year,

but this year is different. Because it is the first time in 50 years that

NPR is operating without federal funding. That is a huge deal and a big challenge. But it is one

that we can take on together. At shortwave, we bring you science coverage that is fun, human,

that introduces you to new ideas, amazing discoveries, and everyday mysteries.

That helps you feel a little more connected to this planet and the people we share it with.

We know all of this matters to you, and that is why some of you have already stepped up to share in the cost of bringing you shortwave each week.

Like Gloria, a listener in Texas who says,

I would be less informed, thoughtful, and interesting without fresh air, through line, shortwave, and up first.

I love these programs, and I hope they continue.

We are so grateful to listeners like Gloria who have stepped up to support NPR this year. You can

join them. Sign up for NPR Plus and Mark Giving Tuesday. This is a simple recurring donation that gets you perks to NPR's

podcasts. Join at plus.npr.org. Thanks again for your support. Here's the show. You're listening to Shortwave

from NPR. Shortwavers, it's Emily Kwong, and I have a confession, somehow in the six years that we

have been making this show, we've never had on a dentist.

This is the very first. I'm so excited to be a part of the very first of anything.
